🚨BREAKING: India's Reliance just locked a 20-year oil deal with the US.

1.2 BILLION barrels.
$125 BILLION in crude.
$175 BILLION in refined products.
$300 BILLION total deal.

Trump called it the BIGGEST DEAL IN US HISTORY.

And for India, this changes everything.

Here's why Ambani made this bet now 👇

What you'll understand after reading this thread:

→ Why the US is sitting on oil it CAN'T refine
→ Why America hasn't built a refinery since the 1970s
→ Why Reliance locked 20 years NOW not later
→ How this reduces India's biggest vulnerability
→ Who wins, who loses, and what changes globally

THE AMERICAN OIL PARADOX

America produces 13.6M barrels of oil per day.

More than Saudi Arabia.
More than Russia.
Most in history.

Yet from 2014 to 2024, the US exported nearly 10 BILLION barrels of its own crude.

While spending $1.8 TRILLION importing foreign oil.

Yes. You read that right.

The world's biggest oil producer is also one of the biggest oil importers.

@SteveWitko51649 1/15 Really Steve?? When you were asked if you thought Russia was giving intelligence to Iran on locations of our troops YOU said we can trust Vladimir Putin? You stated on Fox today "We can take them at their word"...that phrase made YOU the clown of the day.
2/15 You are a shining example of just how INEXPERIENCED Trump's cabinet is. Apparently you have NO idea of the history of Putin. He is a LYING sack of shit, PERIOD. He has sat there and LIED to Trump's face because he KNOWS Trump will believe ANYTHING he says, just like in
3/15 Helsinki when Trump took Putin's word over our intelligence officials...it was one of the most EMBARRASING statements Trump ever muttered. Trump is like a fiddle and Putin an expert fiddle player. He is playing the hell out of him and Trump has NO clue he is doing it to him.

Interest in prop trading has grown rapidly in the United States. Funded accounts, online evaluations, and remote trading opportunities have made the model accessible to a wider audience. Several factors help explain why many traders are exploring it today.
independentinvestor.com/prop/prop-firm…Image
1. Access to Larger Capital
Many retail traders simply do not have enough personal capital to trade meaningfully. Prop trading firms offer funded accounts that allow traders to control larger positions once they pass an evaluation.
2. Limited Personal Financial Exposure
With a personal trading account, losses come directly from personal savings. Prop firms usually limit risk to the cost of the challenge or evaluation fee.

@DefiyantlyFree Insurrection Barbie's post is about two visions of America. Those who understand we are a Constitutional Republic with rights and freedoms granted by G-d and enshrined in our law or Dugin's Fourth Political Theory.
1)
@DefiyantlyFree In terms of concrete governmental structures, Dugin's ideas lean toward authoritarian, autocratic, or charismatic models fused with religious/traditional legitimacy. Dugin denies being fascist or neo-fascist but his adoption of ultranationalism and imperialism,
2)
@DefiyantlyFree anti-liberal authoritarian, mysticism and occultism belie the truth. He is merely repackaged fascism.

Many Christians do not understand how much of their belief system that they take for granted, the principles highlighted in Insurrection Barbie's post above,

SAG-AFTRA just slapped a "Do Not Work" order on the new Mega Man game Dual Override -- and now the original voice actor Ben Diskin is walking away too.

He was offered the role but only if he worked without a union contract, even with written AI protections.

SAG-AFTRA just slapped a "Do Not Work" order on the new Mega Man game Dual Override -- and now the original voice actor Ben Diskin is walking away too.

Here's a breakdown...

• SAG-AFTRA issued the official notice because the producer never started the signatory process, meaning union members can't legally work on it until that's fixed.

• Ben Diskin confirmed on Bluesky that he was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override but only on the condition he work without a union contract.

• Capcom told him they have “full A.I. protections in place that guarantee in writing that my voice will never be used for A.I. development,” but still refused to go union.

• Diskin said he doesn’t have the money or energy to sue a giant company like Capcom if they break the promise, so he turned it down.

• He even offered to work on a lower-budget union contract but Capcom wasn’t interested.

• Diskin voiced Mega Man in the best-selling game in the series’ history and ended his statement with “Good luck out there, Mega!”

Not every actor feels the same way though -- some are happy to sell their voices outright.

Here's more information on what this actually means…

• James Earl Jones famously sold the rights to his Darth Vader voice to Disney before he passed away, allowing them to use AI to recreate it for future projects without any union restrictions or ongoing payments.

• That deal set a precedent that some performers are fine with licensing their voice forever if the money is right, while others like Diskin see it as too big a risk without enforceable union protections.

• The video game industry is still recovering from massive layoffs and skyrocketing costs, so studios see AI as an easy way to cut expenses -- but it’s creating a split where union actors fight for safeguards and some big-name talents are willing to cash out.

• If more big titles keep going this route, it could permanently weaken union protections and turn voice acting into gig work where your performance can be owned forever after one session. How many actors will be OK with that?

ICE isn't just building detention centers. It's engineering an entirely new industrial infrastructure for mass deportation; modeled explicitly on Amazon's supply chain. Here's the full architecture of what's being built. 🧵
ICE calls it the "Detention Reengineering Initiative." The goal: consolidate 300 existing facilities into just 34, while increasing total capacity. Processing centers hold people 3–7 days. Mega centers hold people up to 60 days before deportation. @axios
@axios Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons described the vision publicly at a border security expo: run deportations like Amazon "Like Prime, but with human beings." That quote came from a federal law enforcement official describing a plan now funded with $38 billion of your tax money.

🧵This is a lie, the mediator, “Persian Gulf diplomat” has said. “I can categorically state that this is inaccurate. He was explaining that all of this material can all go away should we have a deal and Iran can be relieved from sanctions.” ms.now/news/exclusive… x.com/acyn/status/20…
I reported, and it is a serious issue, that Witkoff and Kushner DID NOT UNDERSTAND the Iranian proposal or nuclear issues and continue not to understand. diplomatic.substack.com/p/was-diplomac…
You need to understand your opponent, you need to bring experts to help explain what you don’t know. Both on Iran & nuke issues. Kushner and Witkoff DID NOT UNDERSTAND an offer that may not have been good enough but was serious. It is like they had a 50% translation

I'll just say this, Muslim Americans that I have interacted with are some of the most kind, honest and social people I've ever met especially out of any religious group. Never once have I ever felt imposed on or judged for not identifying with them unlike with many Christians.
I am obviously not saying that there are no radical Islamists in the U.S. or worldwide, but that it's vastly over-demonized and weaponized. Nor am I referring to the online clout-chasing fake western converts that also spread disinformation about or false interpretations of Islam
